My question is the Supertech synthetic 5/30 any better than the penz high milage 5/30. The reason is the 5 qt. jug of st synthetic is about the same price.

If you are happy with past results then I see no reason to change. ME, I'd give their SUV oil a shot, IT did very well in my Tacoma, but some will complain about it.
Bottom line... What do you mean by better?
Price wise?
Protection wise?
What?
The truth. And I do sell an oil band which shall remain nameless. ALL OILS on the market today are fine. THey will all do your engine well. The thing is WHOSE MANTRA or whose RELIGION do you believe? It's all religion, all this oil B.S. is a religion. Whose BE-LIE-F do you be-lie-ve....
ALL oils rated for your engine are good and they will all protect, and most will get you through the service life of your requirements.
It is true though that some are better, even twice or thrice as good as the next, but does that mean between 300K and 600K or 400K and 800K, who cares.... most people except for me and fleets will never keep them that long anyhow.
Now, where the oil does count is in the payback.
How much does it COST you to run the oil you run?
That's the real and only question to me and maybe for you to consider.
Who cares if the oil costs 5.00 a quart if it gives twice the life and 1-2-5% the fuel savings and three times the OCI....... IT comes down my friend to ROI . That's the TRUTH, listen or not, I have said it and to each his own. Yah's Blessings to those that understand.!!!!!!!!!!
